Students access prior knowledge of solar energy and understand that solar energy produces heat. In this solar cooker lesson, students complete grade appropriate experiments using the heat of the sun. Students complete a worksheet on...

Learners create a dichotomous key. In this categorizing lesson, students create a dichotomous key for different types of cereal. Learners classify the cereal into groups such as flakes and cereal with holes. Students discuss their...

In this experimental design worksheet, students are given two experimental scenarios to read. They answer questions about each including finding the hypothesis, the independent and dependent variables and controls. They design a graph...

Learners investigate the properties of insulation as it relates to whales and sea ice. They research whales and examine atmospheric changes that occur with sea ice variability.

Students conduct a variety of experiments related to solar energy, heating, cooling, gravity, physical insulation and wind. They consider how the experiments relate to energy and the consumption of energy and then participate in a class...

Students determine the characteristics of a stream ecosystem and its organisms.  In this water ecology lesson students complete several labs that shows them presence of life, water appearance, and water flow.

Students use quadrats to investigate plants, animals, soils and weather. They answer questions as they fill in each quadrat. They share their information with the class.

Students estimate and compare temperature using degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit, and create mini temperature posters and answer questions about temperature.

Eighth graders examine the development of the different temperature scales. They experiment with hot and cold temperatures.

Middle schoolers create their own sling psychrometer to measure relative humidity. They work together in groups to make and use the psychrometer. They are asked questions about their experiment to complete the lesson.

In this subtracting integers on a number line practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Students conduct an experiment to determine the relationship between pressure and temperature. In this physical science lesson, students collect data and graph them. They compare the results of Celsius and Fahrenheit data sheets.

Young scholars collect and record temperatures throughout the school. Using this information they compare and contrast the temperatures recorded from various spots throughout the school.

Students construct a thermograph for maximum and minimum temperatures for the 2-week period. They illustrate how the earth's atmosphere is heated by convection and conduction currents and evaporation of water.

Students demonstrate how the color of materials on Earth affect the amount of solar energy that is absorbed.  In this solar energy lesson students complete a lab to explore how the color of materials on the Earth's surface impacts...

For this temperature and color experiment worksheet, students follow the procedures to set up an experiment to measure the temperature of black and white paper in the sun.

Students perform an experiment to find out how whale blubber keeps whales warm in cold temperatures. They use Ziploc bags lathered in shortening to simulate whale blubber. They put their hands in cold water, both with and without the bags.

Students relate fractions to decimals and find and compare equivalent fractions.

Second graders explore how seasonal weather patterns affect temperature and their lives.

Students perform a version of the experiment of 1800 by the famous astronomer Sir Frederick William Herschel.

Young scholars examine how to relate fractions to decimals and find and compare equivalent fractions.

Students research all about the process of egg development and hatching. They access about temperature, recording data, and charting. In addition to the outcomes for science mastery, students gain experience in cooperative group work,...

Students measure and graph temperatures. In this temperature field lesson students use a map to measure and plot field values and construct isolines and interpret the results.

Young scholars complete a weather report chart after studying weather patterns for a period of time. In this weather report instructional activity, students measure temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, wind speed, and wind direction...
